That is the appropriate response of Congress. When the President proposes something that is improper and outside of law. when we have powers as coequal branches of government. we can respond. and we should use the power of the purse. Senator CRUZ has filed an amendment to this bill that would prohibit the executive expenditures by the President of any funds for administrative amnesty or work authorization for unlawful immigrants. However. the majority leader. with the support of his conference. has blocked all amendments to this border supplemental. If we do not stop this Presidential action. we will ensure that the border crisis continues a catastrophe. The Presidents planned action would also represent a total breach of our constitutional system. and it would be a hammer blow to millions of unemployed American citizens. We do have the power to stop this.
